The Reigning Star: Tycoon's Exclusive Obsession-Chapter 844 - 842: Courting Death

But soon, the public opinion attacking Gu Xiyao drowned it out!

"The daughter of the Tong family and the heiress of the Gu family hit someone, so there’s no news at all?"

"So this is what the so-called number one socialite is like!"

"From now on, I’m a die-hard fan of Mi’er. Beautiful and kind-hearted, risking her life to save others yet her own fate is unknown. If Gu Xiyao gets away with this, I won’t accept it!"

...

Netizens unanimously demanded that Gu Xiyao face fair legal penalties!

Just as Tong Songlin was about to leave with Gu Xiyao for Paris, they were directly stopped by police at the airport. A place like the airport naturally drew immediate attention. Tong Songlin, initially wrapped up tightly, was instantly recognized by netizens due to the commotion.

"Oh my god, it’s Tong Lu! It’s Tong Lu!" someone shouted, capturing everyone’s attention.

Tong Songlin instinctively tried to hide but was blocked by the crowd as the police swiftly led Gu Xiyao and her away.

Gu Xiyao was so scared she froze, with not even a chance to struggle!

"Why is Tong Lu with Gu Xiyao?" Netizens quickly took out their phones and started filming.

"Is Tong Lu Gu Xiyao’s mother? Isn’t that Tong Songlin?"

Soon, this news spread online again, and netizens quickly deduced that Tong Lu was indeed Tong Songlin, the eldest daughter of the Tong family back then, which allowed her to retire from the entertainment industry without anyone noticing.

So Ji Niandong was the illegitimate daughter of Tong Songlin and Sheng Mingyuan, which is why Gu Xiyao wanted to kill her with a car?

The online discussions grew more intense, all leading to one conclusion.

No matter what, if someone is killed in a car accident, the perpetrator must pay with their life!

All the accusations remained directed at Gu Xiyao!

At this moment, Gu Xiyao sat silently in the interrogation room, half terrified and half unable to defend herself.

The police questioned her for a long time, yet she still tried to maintain the demeanor of a top socialite.

Tong Songlin waited outside for quite a while until Ning Zeyan arrived with a lawyer.

"How is it? Xiyao didn’t say anything, right?" Ning Zeyan asked with a frown.

"I instructed her!" Tong Songlin was troubled enough herself, as everyone now knew about her extramarital affair which resulted in Ji Niandong.

What she hadn’t expected was Sheng Mingyuan stepping forward voluntarily!

What exactly did he want?!

Upon entering with the lawyer, Ning Zeyan said, "Sorry, Miss Gu’s lawyer is here. We’d now like to request to communicate with the suspect first!"

Suspect?! Despite having the video evidence, the police, bound by procedures, had to comply!

Once they left, Gu Xiyao threw herself into Ning Zeyan’s arms, clutching his lapel as she said, "Didn’t you say you’d help me? Didn’t you say you’d suppress this matter? Why am I here now? I don’t want to go to jail, Ning Zeyan, you’re a liar!"

"I promised to save you, which is why I’m here. Otherwise, do you think anyone else would help you now? Your father is in Paris and has no influence over New City! Moreover, you’ve offended Lu Beichen, so it’s a wonder the Gu Family hasn’t kicked you out already!"

Ning Zeyan laid out the stakes bluntly, holding her waist and speaking through gritted teeth, "I told you to behave and listen to me. What did you do? You went to find Lu Sinian, and without a word to him, you tried to leave for Paris with your mother?" 𝐟𝗿𝐞𝚎𝚠𝐞𝚋𝕟𝐨𝚟𝐞𝕝.𝕔𝕠𝚖

"It was my mother who said not to tell you, not me!" Gu Xiyao pleaded desperately, "Ning Zeyan, I really know I was wrong!"
